Description
Set on approximately half an acre of mature, private gardens, Gatineau is a substantial 528 Sq Meters detached residence offering exceptional flexibility, scale, and scope in a prime Dublin 16 location. This impressive property enjoys a commanding presence along Sandyford Road, just moments from Stepaside, Sandyford and Dundrum villages, and within easy reach of a superb selection of local amenities, schools, transport links and leisure facilities.
The main residence presents three formal reception rooms — a living room, family room and dining room — in addition to a sunroom and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. With an abundance of well-appointed accommodation across three floors (including a converted attic level), Gatineau is perfectly suited to growing families seeking space, privacy and accessibility. The layout flows exceptionally well and offers ideal zones for family living, working from home, and entertaining.
Attached to the main residence and accessible via a separate side and front entrance, the property also includes a large ancillary wing comprising four self-contained units. While originally conceived as part of an extension to a B&B, the current configuration allows for a variety of potential uses including guest accommodation, workspace, or multigenerational living (subject to appropriate planning consents).
The gardens are a true highlight. To the front, there's generous off-street car parking for multiple vehicles, while to the rear lies a mature and exceptionally private garden. A wide paved patio area spans the width of the property, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxing. Beyond this lies a beautifully stocked, regular-shaped garden with flower beds, trees and shrubs — and beyond that, a long, narrower extension of the site stretches some 200 feet. This distinct area, while separate in feel, provides additional outdoor space and may suit a variety of uses.
The location speaks for itself — within minutes of both the LUAS at Balally and Glencairn, as well as key bus routes and the M50. Renowned primary and secondary schools are close by, along with the retail, dining and leisure offerings of Dundrum Town Centre, Sandyford Business District, and Marlay Park. Accommodation
